The long-awaited "joker" finally released cooked meat today, but was disappointed after watching the movie impatiently. During the whole process, I was trying to understand the character Arthur. The first half of the film was created by the director very well, and it really evoked a lot of depression. However, from the time Arthur suddenly killed the three people with a gun on the subway, the story started. It started to get awkward. It is difficult for me to understand the motive of this behavior at this time. If this movie is to shape a story of the origin of the Joker, the previous foreshadowing alone cannot support the Joker's subsequent behavior, and there is too little description of his past difficulties. And Arthur's behavior later also shows that he is just too depressed and needs to seek a meaning, hoping to be seen, just like a child who lacks love, he does not have a higher and greater goal, nor does he want to become a symbol , he just wanted to be seen.

If this film is to express the rebellious spirit of the people at the bottom, it really describes too little society. It is only some side descriptions that show that ordinary people are not living well, and they do not discuss the reasons for it. To be honest, really disappointed. The funny thing is that the movie claims to be an independent movie, but the shadow of Batman keeps appearing in it... In comparison, the Joker in "Batman: The Dark Knight" is more charming, he is not like a criminal, he Crime is not for money or power, but more like a sociologist. He believes that the world is chaotic and the essence of human beings is dark. He wants to prove and discover this, which is complementary to the spirit of Batman.

    If you haven't watched Lynn Ramsey's "You've Never Been Here", you will think "Joker" is pretty good. But once the comparison is made, it is found that when the characters’ personalities are close to each other, and even the family background identity and mental state are somewhat similar, it is also Phoenix. In "You Have Never Been Here", he is an unpredictable silent eruption of grief, and In "Joker", it is a tired character who exudes loud noises and instantly becomes tense and collapses and can no longer progress. In character-centered films, the Hollywood-style environment forces the characters to make a series of actions and reactions. Eventually, all behaviors are turned into a dramatic drama with a single cause and effect that cannot be nuanced. In essence, this driving mode keeps the characters forever The masturbation climax cannot reach the core of the delicate pleasure. It is far inferior to the explosive and endless aftertaste of the suggestive portrayal of the character's mentality and thoughts between actions in "You Have Never Been Here". Probably the only inspiration is that DC or Marvel movies can also have such themes. Shooting Batman, Superman and Captain America how to deal with insomnia, stomach pain and anxiety should be more interesting than fighting monsters.

    At 9 points, Phoenix deserves an Oscar. The performance is too emotional. It expresses pain with an uncontrollable laugh, which makes people sad. The film is very different from most previous superhero movies. There are no special effects, no spectacles, or even too many action scenes. Instead, in a slightly retro way, I talked about why the clown became that clown. It's actually a serious film, including paying attention to social issues. The film is quite evil and will make you a little sympathetic to this clown. In addition, this film should not be sequel and derivative, because it is still too real. If this character is re-comicized, it will not be him anymore.

Joker quotes

  • Open Mic Comic: I think most women look at sex like buying a car. You know, like, "Can I see myself in this long term?" "Is it safe?" "Is it reliable?" "Could it kill me?" Most guys look at sex like parking a car. We're like, "There's a spot". "There is another spot, that would work." "Oh, I have to pay? - Never mind." "Handicapped? - Hope no one sees us."

  • Social Worker: Arthur, you're on seven different medications. Surely they must be doing something.
